The position which the United States has held as a lumber-producing nation has, perhaps, been due more to white pine than to any other wood. The timber of this valuable tree which has played a most important part in the material devlopment of the nation is fast disappearing and now it is as costly as the finest American hardwoods. Rev. Edward chaplain of the ways taken an Everett Hale, the Senate, who has ai interest in forestry, deplores the passing of white pine as our foremost wood, and tells how in his own lifetime he has seen the day when "the masts of every vessel that sailed the Seven Seas were made from New England-grown pine! while today very little white pine is cut in New England big enough to furnish a good-sized spar." He tells, also, to illustrate the increasing cost of the wood, that he ordered a set of book shelves on which the cabinet-maker made a price, and then asked whether they should be of mahogany or white pine. The white pine production has shifted from New England to the Lake States, and Michigan was the leading lumber-producing State for twenty years, from 1870 to 1890, with a supremacy based on white these two decades the cut hundred and sixty billions pine. In was one of board feet, valued, at the point of production, at not less than two billion dollars, or nearly half as much again as the value derived from all the gold fields of California from from their discovery in the late forties until the present. The rich forests of Michigan were once thought inexhaustible and lumbering continued in a most reckless manner for years. Suddenly the people awoke to the fact that the thoughtless destruction of the trees had thrown six millions of acres on the delinquent tax list. These white pine barrens point to the terrible penalty sources of wasting the forest which should have been re- the heritage of all future generations. An idea of the increasing scarcity of white pine timber is given by the New York F. O. B. quotations, on a basis of carload lots. "Uppers" of the best sand grade, cost board feet, $97 to $114 a thou- and the "selects" or next" lower grade cost $79.50 to $99.50. Men who are not yet middleaged remember the time when these grades could be purchased at $15 to $25 a thousand feet. The present quotations on quartered white oak, which are $75 to $80, offer another basis of comparison which indicates the condition of the market for white pine. The best stands of this timber now in this country are in scattered sections in Minnesota, New England, and Idaho. The species in Idaho is sometimes called silver pine. Some of the country's best white pine is found on the Indian reservations in Attention HOMESBBKSR8 AND INVESTORS.

1908.] THE SOUTHERN PLANTER 49 Minnesota and Wisconsin and scattered stands are found in the States of Wyoming, Montana, Colorado, and one or two other States. At the present rate of cutting, the tree will soon be practically a thing of the past. The small stands in the National forests are inconsiderable, but they will be managed with the greatest conservatism by the Government through the Forest Service, and through this method and practice of reforestation it may be hoped that the fine old tree will furnish timber for other generations. LEAKY ROOFS. With the facilities that are at hand nowadays for the prompt, economical and substantial repairing of roofs, there is less excuse than ever for the man who neglects this work. No matter what kind of roof you have, a very little money spent for a good waterproof coating, and a few minutes or hours of your time, as the case may be, will make any leaky building on your place as snug and watertight as ever. There is a material called Elastica Liquid Roof Coating that may be applied to shingle, tin, iron, slate, tile or any other sort of roofs, which is giving satisfaction wherever used, and which may be had in small or large quantities at a very reasonable price. This Elastica is absolutely waterproof and is applied as easily as paint, though it has four times the body of paint. It sticks and stays wherever applied, and has saved hundreds of people the cost of a new roof or expensive, troublesome repairs. It is made and sold direct to the consumer by Geo. Callahan & Co., 129 Front St., New York. This firm has manufactured roofing materials for 20 years, they sell to the U. S. Government, railroads, factories and mills,, as well as to individuals.
